Answer:

The correct answer is A. He beat his wife during the week of peace.

Explanation:

In Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart, Okonkwo commits several crimes against the female deity of the earth. This time, he beats his wife Ojiujo because she left thir house without having prepared dinner. By doing so, he breaks the peace of the sacred week in an offence known as nso-ani.
